Impatience = the most formidable EQ foe

180 vials of mana left to thicken. I want to die.

I disagree that casters need to be nuking before 90pct....If I followed that rule I would be a dead 20ish wizard....Once you get concussion it's a different ballgame. But at low lvls taunt sucks and casters are squishy and poorly geared for the most part.

If we're whinging about people doing stuff in groups...

Necros, mages... control your pets! I see a mob beating on me, i don't even bother mezzing it because i see libartik whacking away on it and the necro / mage is still sitting down medding. If you're gonna half-ass it and just send your pet in before you do your single nuke then at least make sure it's on the right mob.

Tanks do have it tough, nothing more annoying than struggling to hold aggro, then having to chase a mob about as it runs after an overzealous caster.

Saying that, 90% of my trouble in groups comes from the tank changing targets, i'm very alert in groups, so as soon as a tank has a target, i'm assiting them and cycling target onto the other mob to mez, even the alert mages / necros will be sending in their pets that early, so if you then change target it means i've just mezzed the wrong mob, and there's a pet beating on the other mob I've now got to mez.

Saying that i'm fast believing HP is the best stat to go for as an enchanter [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Not to mention that said overzealous caster will now be doing laps around the group, screaming like a little girl "OMGGETITOFF GETITOFF GETITOFFFFFFFFFFFF".

If runes count, then my chanter on live had enough HP built up in runes to rival the tank on the raid.

*giggles until she cries* OP there isn't anything wrong at all with saying "hey, this will go a LOT easier with aggro bouncing if you wait til I call attack. Just try it a few times my way and see."

Nothing wrong with reminding folks to make a /assist button. With pets classes that is even better with a '/pet back' BEFORE the '/assist name (or %T)' to reroute the happy little suckers onto the right mob consistently.

I take a process approach. Twice now in the last month I've leveled a character through the oasis, each time I get in a group I friend the competent players, or the ones that are new, but listen to instruction and pay attention. By now after a few weeks of that I have a small network of players that I go to first to see about grouping before I ever pick a zone or start looking for more. This has two benefits. The first, that you know you can depend on those players in your group. The second, you outnumber the idiots and it is much easier to force the bad players to conform when 2-4 people in the group are agreeing with you, it makes your suggestions sound like it must be common knowledge.

In other words (fanservice to all the nerds out there) You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.

I'm just a monk, and this annoys the crap out of me too.

I also love it when pets pull!.
